Change Of Appetite

Change of appetite refers to any major change in eating behavior, whether it is either an increase or decrease in appetite. Any major change of appetite can serve as an indicator of health or disease. It is normal to lose your appetite with the onset of many medical conditions and it can also be a symptom of depression. Hyperphagia or polyphagia (immense appetite) can be the result of disorders such as diabetes, Kleine–Levin syndrome (a malfunction in the hypothalamus) along with the genetic disorders Prader–Willi syndrome and Bardet–Biedl syndrome
